Game 47 Raptors at Nets

The Raptors return to the borough of Brooklyn for the first time since Game 6 of last year's first round of Playoffs. Although much has happened and time has passed, i'm the sure the Raptors still view these ones as a grudge matches

• This should be the first time the Raptors encounter Brooklyn center Brook Lopez in a long while. He missed all of last season with a broken foot. Valanciunas usually does well against large, intimidating bigs. Lets see what this match up brings
• Things haven't been going so well in Brooklyn lately, not the way the team had hoped anyway. Their 18-27 record has left Coach Hollins and even superstar point guard Deron Williams on the trade rumour freeway.
• One of the reasons Masai brought James Johnson to the Raptors was to guard players like Joe Johnson who obliterated Toronto during the playoffs last year. Hopefully we'll see a great Johnson and Johnson show down.

Song of the Day

"Brooklyn Is Burning" - Head Automatica

Actually from Long Island, New York Head Automatica was started by Glassjaw frontman Daryl Palumbo. He was looking for a way to get out other forms of music that he was inspired by, namely Britpop, swing and hip-hop. The types of music that didn't fit into Glassjaw's hardcore stylings. With only 2 albums under their belt, Head Automatica continue to tour to this day. "Brooklyn Is Burning" is a funky, bass drum kick tune that can be found on their first album, 2004's Decadence.

Brooklyn will burn tonight!
